A year-end thank you to the drivers and couriers who made a meaningful impact.
As 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you to the millions of drivers and couriers who showed up—day after day, trip after trip—for riders and eaters around the world.
This year, we celebrated their impact in a more personal way. Not just the miles driven or trips completed, but their individual journeys on the Uber platform—
⭐ the 5-star ratings they earned
🚗 the trips and deliveries they completed
📍 the cities they helped move
🎉 the years they’ve spent with us along the way
And in the moments that matter most, they showed up. 🌙
In 2025, hundreds of millions of late-night trips and deliveries helped keep our roads safer, giving people a reliable alternative when driving wasn’t the right choice.
Behind every stat is a real moment: a late-night delivery when someone needed it most, a safe ride home, a dependable trip that helped someone get where they needed to go. Those moments matter—and so do drivers and couriers. Here’s what a few drivers shared about why they choose to drive late at night:
“It hits me close to home to make sure that people get home safe when they’ve been out drinking or if they’ve worked a long shift.” Candice E., Lubbock, TX
“I really love my community, and I always love to provide them with the best service to make sure to get them to their destination safe[ly], with a smooth ride.” Mohamed I., Baltimore, MD
“The reason why I choose to drive at night is simple, because I know how important it is to get people back and forth from the bars, from work, and I really love what I do.” Michael O., Dallas, TX
This year, we were also proud to recognize and reward our top 3 drivers and top 3 couriers who went above and beyond. These earners weren’t selected just for high trip counts, but because they consistently delivered exceptional service, reliability, and care to riders and eaters alike. That’s what excellence on Uber truly looks like.
I also wanted to share a short video to say thank you—just a small way to recognize the dedication and care our drivers and couriers bring to every trip and delivery.
To every driver and courier: thank you for the professionalism, heart, and commitment you brought to 2025. You make our platform—and the communities you serve—stronger every day.
Here’s to everything you accomplished this year, and to what we’ll build together next.
